This is outdated. Gitcoin passport decided cheap/free is not good for verifying identity. Only ENS works.This one costs $2.5 to set as a primary name and becomes a subdomain. But if you directly register an ENS (Ethereum Name Service), it will cost $5 per year. The gas fee during the registration process is around $8. Setting it as a primary name costs $2.5. Try to compare and choose what you prefer.Let's get started!Go to the website https://optinames.xyz.Register a subdomain for free on the OP mainnet.Go to https://app.ens.domains/(domain).ecc.eth...Replace "(domain)" with the name that your friends have just registered.To set the primary domain, you will need to pay approximately $2.5 as gas fees on the Ethereum mainnet.After that, access Gitcoin Passport, where you can verify your ENS.https://passport.gitcoin.co/Enjoy this? follow for more at @gadgeteerth @0x_nanobro.
